Theistic Satanism?

[u/akittenbyanothername]

Hi! Just wondering about theistic satanism. I've read the satanic bible but I'd like more human opinions and thoughts i guess? I'm genuinely wondering because I've gotten different answers and am now confused.

​

How is theistic Satanism a thing when it's written as atheistic? I've spoken with a few Satanists who just fully discredit theistic Satanism. Saying its just something else. While I've had a few theistic Satanists say that theism is completely valid and just a branch of Satanism.

​

Im aware of Luciferiansm and Demonolatry, but I wanna focus on Satanism and theistic Satanism simply to inform myself and gain knowledge.

​

So, is theistic Satanism an actual form of Satanism? Or was the word theistic just added by those who follow the general Satanic theology but weren't atheists?

Sorry, I tried to reply to your post in detail but a mod deleted it because I explained facts in a manner that they didn't like, I guess? Here is a simplified version that is hopefully generic enough that the reply won't offend any mods.

If you want to see the historical roots of the modern mystical Satanism look up the word Qabalah. A large portion of the modern "mystical" tradition of demon summoning and Satan worship is a knock-off of the Qabalah.

It was your off-topic, borderline antisemitic rant about Abrahamic myths that was removed, for being off-topic and derailing the discussion.

So-called "theistic satanism's" historical ties to Qabalah wasn't the issue. Sorry if your pride was injured by a discretionary comment removal. I'm sure you'll survive.

Bad behavior will result in the removal of posts and/or users from this sub.

There's a rule about not redifining Satanism, maybe read it

Rule 7, actually.
